I got rid of my physical address book today, deciding instead to store all of that information in both my Gmail account and my phone (Blackberry FTW). While I was making sure I had all the stuff I needed, I kept swinging by Facebook to make sure I had everyone’s information up to date.

This led to me going to the pages of a couple of people I hadn’t really seen or heard from in a while… and being kind of stalkerish and looking through their pictures. One of those people was Molly (HI MOLLY! I MISS YOU!), my old cohort from Hitherston. I wandered through a folder of her old digital art and was (re)blown away.

I remember when our web designs had sparkle and glitter and LIFE. Molly’s work was always especially magical… blue and green and otherwordly… but I remember my own designs having the same amount of LIFE to them. And look at my site now. It’s boring. It’s boxy. It’s GREY. Why??

I’m working on a website layout now for a site dealing with an Israel tour (more details on that later). I’m in Photoshop… playing with  boxes. Corporate, boring, lifeless BOXES. Why? I have the power to make this a really interesting site. What’s stopping me? What’s holding me back?
